This is part 2 of a series where we gradually create a Google Earth Tour builder tool. We started last week with a tool that took a set of placemarks and created a tour that circles each placemark. The problem was the transition between placemarks just relied on Google Earth’s ‘fly to’ feature and wasn’t very nice at all. So today, we are adding an arcing flight between placemarks and more customization to the circling feature.
We get the view distance (range, in metres) and view angle (tilt) from the placemark.
Be sure to let us know in the comments if you find any bugs and any suggestions for further improvement / extra features.
